On John Baugh's query re equivalents to the "'hood" use of H[ome] T[raining]--





In the African American community, saying that someone had good "HT" or

worse, that someone "ain't got no HT" is a way of distinguishing those

who are considerate of others, and those who simply lack such training.

Are there comparable expressions in the white community (in the U.S. or

elsewhere?)



--sounds similar to the French "bien elev'e(e)". I don't know any colloquial

English equivalent in the white community.
